Edward Seymour, 8th Duke of Somerset
- Edward Seymour, 8th Duke of Somerset
Edward Seymour, 8th Duke of Somerset (1695 – December 15 1757) was a British nobleman. The son of Sir Edward Seymour, 5th Baronet, a descendant of Protector Somerset by his first marriage, he succeeded his distant cousin, Algernon Seymour, 7th Duke of Somerset, as Duke of Somerset in 1750. The 8th Duke only inherited a fragment of the immense Percy family wealth enjoyed by his two immediate predecessors, and the dukes of Somerset were never again amongst the richest landowning families in Britain. The principal Percy estates and houses of Alnwick Castle, Northumberland House, Petworth House and Syon House where divided between the 7th Duke's daughter and nephew.
On March 8 1716, he married Mary Webb and had five children:
*Edward Seymour, 9th Duke of Somerset (2 January 1717 – 2 January 1792)
*Webb Seymour, 10th Duke of Somerset (3 December 1718 – 15 December 1793)
*William Seymour (1724 – 5 November 1800)
*Very Reverend Lord Francis Seymour (1726 – 16 February 1799) (Dean of Wells Cathedral)
*Mary Seymour (1744 – 21 July 1762)
